Why Have I Not Yet Got My Periods After Taking Plan B?

i had unprotected sex (stupid, we know) the day i was expected to have my period. an hour after i took plan b. now it’s been 7 days and still no sign of my period. i’ve been stressed and worried about it and i’m aware that may cause an even bigger delay. how long should i wait to take a pregnancy test? should i be worried? is all of this normal?

Hi,

The expected day of period with a regular normal cycle is in safe zone as no ovulation is possible that day and no conception is possible without ovulation. Still, you had taken plan B that day. It is sure to prevent pregnancy (so no worries please). This plan B causes 8 to 10 days delay in expected day of your period. Please wait patiently for the periods to start late.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
